Curators Cheryl Chudyk and Kevin Sampsell write:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try to imagine a world where teachers didn\u2019t exist. Frankly, it\u2019s a depressing and horrible thought. We should all take comfort in knowing that teachers are everywhere, helping and influencing humans in all manners of being. In a world struggling in so many ways, dedicated educators–perhaps more than anyone else–strive to keep us balanced and save us from total catastrophe. The amount of time and heart that they put into their work is immeasurable. In the collage world, there are many teachers creating fantastic, joyful, and ambitious work. In this show, we celebrate Spring with a team of wonderful collagists, who enrich the world with their artistic skills as much as their selfless work in schools and other institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miranda Millward\u2019s work brilliantly utilizes a fold technique that leaves an angular web in her collages. Her stunners also feature punched holes that seem to mimic buttons, or polkadots, or moth eaten knitted wares. The bright lipstick and manicures of the women peek through the swaths of idealic tiles, curtains and linens to create a vertigo of domesticity. Millward runs an arts programme for young people with Special Educational Needs, Learning Disabilities, and Social, Emotional, and Mental Health needs in Oxford, England, United Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ann E. Lawton\u2019s depth, layers, and intricate windows seem to pop off the page in her wonderful new set of collage works. The visual push and pull within the layers invites both artist and viewer to ponder their perceptions. Lawton is another powerful speaker and is an instructor in the art department at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls (UWRF). She also facilitates in-home art therapy services with neurodivergent children in the St. Croix Valley of Western Wisconsin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other artists in the exhibition include: Michael Toti, Lyz Wendland, Aim\u00e9e Henny Brown, and Craig van den Bosch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All works are for sale and 100% of the proceeds to go the artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
